Did you doctor recommend how much you should gain?

I'm 5'2 and weight 150. I haven't lost all my baby wright from last pregnancy, so I'm normally 130. My doctor told me since I'm over weight yhat 10-15 pounds would be what I should aim for. Keep in mind.. he told me 25 at most for last time in order to be able to lose it and i ddnt listen obviously.lol

The doctor told me to gain 11-20 pounds. I am 5'5 and pre pregnancy was 188. I am 35 weeks pregnant now and I am 197.

I have gestational diabetes but my dr says it is likely not due to my weight since I was only about 30 lbs overweight and it's more likely to be from my family history and my pancreas working funny due to pg hormones.

I have not had trouble with the not gaining weight - my little boy takes up so much room it's hard to eat a lot! I gained most of my weight in the second trimester. As long as your baby is growing and you are healthy everything will be a-ok! I was worried I wasn't gaining enough but my dr is not concerned and actually he is measuring large!

I am 5'2 and weighed 179 pounds start of my pregnancy...strictly told by ob gyn not to put on more than 20-22 pounds! have already put on 34 pounds....got GD in week 29...on insulin since then! wght hasn't increased a bit since bng on diet and insulin though!
